Brooklyn Tabernacle here we come...!

Within the past several hours, God has graciously touched the hearts of three different people to provide financing for our pastoral staff to attend the Pastors and Leader's Conference at the Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City, April 15-17th! While in the city, they will also be able to attend a service at David Wilkerson's Times Square Church.

I believe this will be a great blessing to our entire leadership team. I was especially touched by the fact that a dear pastor friend in Paris, France sent a very, very generous offering to help make this happen...!

Please join me in prayer that this will be a special time of deep spiritual refreshing for our leaders. If you would like to come with us to the conference, you can find more information by clicking here. If you are unfamiliar with Pastor Cymbala's ministry, I encourage you to watch the following video of him preaching at Pastor Jack Hayford's pastor's conference, entitled, Calling Upon the Name of the Lord.

If you have never read Pastor Jim Cymbala's most famous book, Fresh Wind - Fresh Fire, I strongly recommend it as one of my all-time favorites.

Glory on Your House / Gloria en Su Casa

Click on the pictures for quick links to Amazon.com for the book I mentioned yesterday while preaching. Other great options to check out to see if you can get better pricing are Christian Book Distributors and our very own Axis Youth Ministries Bookstore.

Glory on Your House

One of the books I was assigned to read for a class I am taking at the King's Seminary has touched me very deeply. A single sentence from its pages planted the seed in my spirit that resulted in my sermon last Sunday and what I ministered this morning. The book was written by Jack Hayford from the Church on the Way in Van Nuys, California and is entitled, "Glory on Your House." Click here

If you enjoy it, I would also encourage you to get a copy of Terry Teykl's book, "The Presence Based Church." Amazon.com lists it at: Glory on Your House and: Gloria en Su Casa

I am not trying to promote Amazon.com, by the way, but just want to make it a bit easier for you to track down the resources that I mention in this blog.

A Tale of Three Kings

Here is the title of the book I mentioned this morning while preaching. Although the style the author has chosen is not what I would prefer, the content is so rich that I would have to rate it among the top five books that I have impacted my life the most. I read it many years ago and it deposited rich seeds into my heart that have born fruit along life's way at many different times in many different ways.

"A Tale of Three Kings" by Gene Edwards (ISBN#: 0842369082)

I looked it up on Amazon.com a few moments ago to see if it is still in print and came up with this link for the English version: A Tale of Three Kings and this link for the Spanish language version: Perfil de Tres Monarcas.
